ixl(4): Enable building driver on ARM64For consistency with other drivers enable building ixlon ARM64 target.Please be advised that it is only compile tested.Intel will continue to test Ethernet drivers only on x86-64platforms, and is not going to provide support for issues,which cannot be reproduced in such environment.Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Galazka Suggested by: Dave Cottlehuber Reviewed by: manuApproved by: kbowling (mentor)MFC after: 2 weeksSponsored by: Intel CorporationDifferential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D54289 List of files: /freebsd/sys/arm64/conf/NOTES

b3d0562dd84540be2fd98e6a457cdcb232e9f915 - LINT: add KDTRACE_MIB_SDT to catch inconsistencies with struct tcpstat

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 18:47:06 +0200

LINT: add KDTRACE_MIB_SDT to catch inconsistencies with struct tcpstatWhy only arm64? We want LINT coverage for kernels with DTrace andwithout. Global NOTES doesn't have KDTRACE_HOOKS, but most machinedependent NOTES have it. Except the x86 NOTES, which intentionallydoesn't have KDTRACE_HOOKS, so that there is coverage for a kernel withoutDTrace. So lets use arm64, our second Tier 1 platform, to have a LINTwith maximum DTrace features enabled.See also: daad0b6501359, 2f915345634e List of files: /freebsd/sys/arm64/conf/NOTES

mpi3mr: Broadcom's MPT-Fusion version 4 is amd64 and aarch64 onlyBroadcom's MPT-Fusion version 4 driver only works on 64-bit systems, andhas only been tested in amd64 and aarch64, so move it's building to justthose. I didn't notice this in the review and neglected to test thosecases (since I knew it didn't work there, so was a blind spot).Pointy-hat: impFixes: 9cdd40759617Sponsored-by: NetflixSponsored by: Netflix List of files: /freebsd/sys/arm64/conf/NOTES

aw_timer: rename driver from a10_timerThis reflects its expanded support for platforms other than the A10.Functions specific to A10/A13 retain the a10 prefix, but the majority ofnames in the driver are changed, e.g. a10_timer_softc becomesaw_timer_softc.Reviewed by: manu, ganboldMFC after: 1 weekSponsored by: The FreeBSD FoundationDifferential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D48671 List of files: /freebsd/sys/arm64/conf/NOTES
